Hi Craig
Brilliant street life shot - you created an iconic image of Cuba. The expressions on both the little girl's and the mother's faces are priceless.
Love the muted colours and the signs of dilapidation so well captured.
Best wishes
Kasia

Yes, I definately like this happy moment when the girl and her mom or grandmom (difficult to say) are both smiling and seem to enjoy meeting with you and your girlfriend.
Once I'd love to visit Cuba and stroll in Havana's streets.
What is the condition of the old buildings in the old part of Havana, are they being renovated? I've heard from some travellers that they are slovely getting into ruins and that I should rush to see old Havana.
wish you a good day

Hi Craig
this is irresistible. Love the look on the mother's face, something that any parent can identify with. A candid and beautiful study that is both captivating and full of innocent charm. Execution flawless as always.

I thought first at India but this is a picture out of South Amerika.
A lovely daily life picture with a very proud mother with a daugthe with a lovely smile.
Technical excellent taken
Excellent composition, good presentation too.
Very well done, TFS.

Hi Craig,
A very pleasant picture with happy and smiling persons. Here it is also interesting to see all the beautiful colours along the walls, must have been a long time since they had a new layer of paint. But the effect here is very attractive.
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hello Craig,
What! Do you mean that this was such a quick snap shot that you didn't even have time to use the tripod? :-)
It was a great idea to have your girlfriend distracting the little girl so you could have this spontaneous shot. I love the laid-back atmosphere here. It makes me think of places in India or Vietnam, just that people look different there. I really love the colors of these faded walls.
All the best,
Gert

Now it makes sense, no wonder you like to travel with your girlfriend...you end up with this kind of opportunity! lol

This little girl looks to be having a great time posing for Tosca, which has allowed you to snap a completely candid shot, and one which included her mother with a smile as well...you got the double bonus. Having a niece about the same age, I can't help but smile myself thinking she would be doing the exact same thing, hamming it up for the camera. :)

A terrific daily life shot which portrays the local personality, another in a great line of character appeal. You've done a great job bringing out the cultural aspects of Havana in a fun and enjoyable manner.

On the technical side of things, I can't get enough of those decaying, colorful and textured walls. Love 'em! Enjoy the rest of the evening. Take care up there.

Hello Craig,
Here's another great slice of daily life in Havana. As always, the colors and bit of decay add charm to the scene. Even though the little girl is the one posing, the woman also makes a nice subject.

Hi Craig
Three gen between them! I love the totally candid nature of most of the people shots - it makes me feel like I've had a chance to look at real life here. Cleverly observed and composed as we are also drawn to colours of this small area in such a relaxed simple life and this is particularly descriptive, a charming old time scene really does encapsulate Cuban life. An image full of colour and interest.
..all the adjectives are out for this one.
Great work Craig
Best regards

I hope you're not working too hard on your nightshift and that the Easter Bunny brings you and T some nice chokkies. This little gal is full of personality, I love how she's striking a pose, doing her best Blue Steel. And the way the mum happily looks on is very sweet too. Excellent double portrait, great street photography. Have a great Easter, see you in a week or so :)

Hello Craig,
sorry, I've not been keeping up with your photos but glad to catch up with this one. Besides the cute kid I like the colours, light and architectural detail. Nicely composed too despite it being a quickie.
